I agree with the above and would like to add that he has a really long face compared to his neck. Although, that could be an optical illusion because the angle of the photo is a little funky.
He's like 80% TB, with some Oldenburg. His sire is a registered Oldenburg, but his sire's dam is a TB, so he's got a lot of thoroughbred. His topline did improve come spring when we could go on long romps around the grounds and work on hills (both of our favorites, hehe). Yeah, the pictures really are sort of terrible, haha, but I don't have many photos of him. His back is very long, not an illusion with the photos. His head is actually more attractive than the pictures let on though, haha, espeically in that first one, yikes, what a dork.
He's turned out to be a great guy, we're successfully schooling up to 2nd level right now, he's moving into a shorter frame really well despite his 3 mile long back, haha. We were jumping about 2'9", 3' before I stopped working with a trainer =( and haven't done much jumping at all since then, but he's (hopefully!) going on lease to a girl who will take him through novice by the end of the event season this year! I would love to get more recent pictures, but I'm often at the barn by myself and wouldn't want to risk the camera's life like that, lol. It's my parents, not mine, also. I wish I had more jumping photos, they're so good for seeing what both of you need work on. [/ramble]
awesome color!!! hahaha always important!! shoulder is kind of upright for my tastes and there is something funky going on with those back legs - is he standing funny or do they get really base wide? the angles aren't all horrible but something's bothering me back there : /
besides being a smidgen upright i really like the whole area connecting his barrel, neck and shoulder. the front legs look normal.
the topline seems weird as mentioned in above posts. He looks really kind and sweet though. and i think once he grows into himself he's going to be sexy no matter what
